ABSTRACT: The syntheses, structures, magnetic, and proton conductivity properties of a family of bimetallic anilate-based compounds with inserted alkylammonium cations are presented. The structures of (Me2NH2)[MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·2H2O (1), (Et2NH2)[MnIICrIII(Br2An)3] (2), (Et3NH)[MnIICrIII(Cl2An)3] (3), and [(Et)(i-Pr)2NH][MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·(CHCl3)0.5·(H2O) (4) contain a 2D anionic network formed by Mn(II) and Cr(III) ions linked through anilate ligands. In 1, 2, and 3, the hexagonal holes of this network are occupied by Me2NH2+, Et2NH2+, or Et3NH+ cations. Interestingly, the small increase of size of the templating cation in 4 ([(Et)(i-Pr)2NH]+ in the place of Me2NH2+, Et2NH2+ or Et3NH+), gives rise to a different structure with half of the cations placed within the layers and the other one in the space between the layers. This leads to bilayers with an interlayer separation similar to those of 1, 2, and 3 separated by larger interbilayer distances. Compounds 1, 2, and 3 show a ferrimagnetic ordering with a Tc of 8.0 K (1), 8.9 K (2), and 8.0 K (3). In 4, the presence of different interlayer distances leads to a metamagnetic behavior when the sample is measured in contact with the mother liquor. The behavior changes in the dry sample, which shows a ferrimagnetic ordering as that of 1, 2, and 3 due to collapse of the structure as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. Interestingly, the metamagnetic behavior is recovered after reimmersing the crystals in the mother liquor proving the reversibility of the process. All solids are Grotthuss-type proton conductors with conductivity values ranging between 2.3 × 10−6 S·cm−1 for 3 and 2.4 × 10−5 S·cm−1 for 1 measured at 70 °C and 95% relative humidity and activation energies of ∼0.2 eV.



INTRODUCTION The formation of extended solids that combine magnetic ordering with a second property is one of the most appealing topics in chemical science. A rational approach to design this type of multifunctional compounds is the use of extended anionic magnetic lattices, in which the choice of the appropriate countercation provides the second property of interest.1 This strategy has been exhaustively investigated in oxalatebased networks.2 Thus, compounds combining the cooperative magnetism from the oxalate network with paramagnetism,3 photochromism,4 electrical conductivity,5 ferroelectricity,6 chirality,7 single-molecule magnetic behavior,8 or spin-crossover properties9 have been reported. Several groups have explored the use of hydrophilic cations to grow bimetallic 2D or 3D oxalate-based networks as proton mediators or proton carriers. This has allowed the preparation of oxalate-based magnets at very low-temperatures ( 2σ(I) wR2(F2),b all data S(F2),c all data

Physical Measurements. Magnetic measurements were performed with a Quantum Design MPMS-XL-5 SQUID magnetometer and a Quantum Design PPMS on crystalline samples of 1 (2.2 mg), 2 (9.5 mg), 3 (5.5 mg), and 4 (7.2 mg). Crystals of 4 were measured first in contact with the mother liquor (solvated sample). Afterward, the solvent was removed and the magnetic measurements were performed in the dry sample. Finally, to check the reversibility, the crystals were reimmersed in a MeOH/CHCl3 mixture overnight and the measurements were repeated in contact with the solvent mixture (resolvated sample). The Mn/Cr/X (X = Cl or Br) ratios were measured with a Philips ESEM X230 scanning electron microscope equipped with an EDAX DX-4 microsonde. Conductivity Characterization. Impedance data were collected on cylindrical pellet (5 mm of diameter and ∼1 mm of thickness) obtained by pressing 30−40 mg of powder samples of 1−4 at 250 MPa, for 2 min. The pellets were pressed between porous C electrodes (Sigracet, GDL 10 BB, no Pt). The sample cells were places inside a temperature and humidity controlled chamber (Espec SH-222) and connected to a HP4284A impedance analyzer. AC impedance data were collected over the frequency range from 20 Hz to 1 MHz with an applied voltage of 1 V. All measurements were electronically controlled by the winDETA package of programs.23 Pellets were first equilibrated at 95% relative humidity (RH) and preheated (0.2 °C/min) from 25 to 70 °C. Impedance spectra were recorded on cooling using a stabilization time of 3 h from 70 to 25 °C (0.2 °C/min) at 10 °C intervals. Water condensation on sample was avoided by reducing first the relative humidity before decreasing temperature.

C53H45Br12Cl3Cr2Mn2N2O26: C 26.47, H 1.89, N 1.16. Found: C 26.58, H 2.07, N 1.08. Structural Characterization. Single crystals of the four compounds were mounted on glass fibers using a viscous hydrocarbon oil to coat the crystal and then transferred directly to the cold nitrogen stream for data collection. All reflection data were collected at 120 K for 1, 2, and 4 and 180 K for 3, on a Supernova diffractometer equipped with a graphite-monochromated Enhance (Mo) X-ray Source (λ = 0.7107 Å) (1, 2, and 4) and on a Supernova Atlas Dual Source diffractometer with a Cu X-ray source (λ = 1.54184 Å) (3). The CrysAlisPro program, Oxford Diffraction Ltd., was used for unit cell determinations and data reduction. Empirical absorption correction was performed using spherical harmonics, implemented in the SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm. Crystal structures were solved by direct methods with the SIR97 program20 and refined against all F2 values with the SHELXL-2013 program21 using the WinGX graphical user interface.22 All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically except for disordered solvent molecules and countercations. Due to this disorder, the overall quality of the data of 1, 2, and 4 is poor, and this results in high R factors (0.121, 0.166, and 0.199, respectively). Hydrogen atoms for disordered alkylammonium cations and disordered chloroform or water molecules in 4 and water molecules in 1 were not introduced but are taken into account in the chemical formulas. Data collection and refinement statistics are collected in Table 1. CCDC 1564529, 1564530, 1491090, and 1491091 contain the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/ cif. Glass capillaries (0.5 mm) were filled with polycrystalline samples of the compounds and mounted and aligned on a Empyrean PANalytical powder diffractometer, using Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.54177 Å). A total of three scans were collected at room temperature in the 2θ range 2−40°. To check the stability of samples after proton conductivity measurements, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns were collected using a Bragg−Brentano configuration in the 2θ range of 4−50°. Additionally, in order to prove the recrystallization of compound 4 in the presence of solvent molecules, a transmission geometry was selected. For this study, a small amount of 4 was placed in a holder between two Kapton films and some drops of a MeOH/ CHCl3 mixture were added. The powder diffraction pattern of the resolvated sample was recorded on an Empyrean PANalytical powder



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Syntheses. The preparation of (Me2NH2)[MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·2H2O (1), (Et2NH2)[MnIICrIII(Br2An)3] (2), (Et3NH)[MnIICrIII(Cl2An)3] (3), and [(Et)(i-Pr)2NH][MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·(CHCl3)0.5·(H2O) (4) is based on the slow diffusion of solutions of the anilate precursor salts (Me2NH2)3[CrIII(Br2An)3]·2H2O (1), (Et2NH2)3[Cr(Br2An)3] ( 2 ) , (E t 3 N H ) 3 [ C r I I I ( C l 2 A n ) 3 ] (3 ), a n d [ ( E t ) ( i Pr)2NH]3[CrIII(Br2An)3] (4) into a Mn2+ solution in other solvent.

Inorganic Chemistry 2D bimetallic anilate-based networks containing cationic Fe(III) Schiff-base complexes for which [CrIII(Cl2An)3]3− or [CrIII(Br2An)3]3− salts were not known.13,14 The best results were obtained with methanol/dichloromethane (1 and 3) or methanol/chloroform (2 and 4) mixtures to dissolve the Mn2+ salt, and methanol to dissolve the anilate precursor. The chemical composition of these compounds, checked by microanalysis, shows Mn/Cr/Cl (3) or Mn/Cr/Br (1, 2, and 4) ratios close to the expected 1/1/6. Composition obtained by elemental analysis of 1 is consistent with the presence of two water molecules. The weight loss corresponding to these water molecules is in agreement with the 3.5% weight loss below 140 °C observed in TGA of this compound (see below), which is not shown by the other three compounds. Composition of 2 obtained by elemental analysis deviates slightly from the theoretical composition. This could suggest the presence of an amorphous impurity or a solvated phase in the polycrystalline sample, which are not detected by PXRD. Synthesis of 1, 2, and 3 could be performed by mixing methanolic solutions of (Me2NH2)3[CrIII(Br2An)3]·2H2O (1), (Et2NH2)3[Cr(Br2An)3] (2), or (Et3NH)3[CrIII(Cl2An)3] (3) and MnCl2. PXRD pattern confirms that these powders are isostructural with the single crystals (see below). In the case of 4, the same direct precipitation method led to a product with a PXRD pattern completely different to that of the single crystals. Structures of 1, 2, and 3. The three compounds crystallize in the trigonal space group P-31c. The structure is formed by anionic 2D anilate-based layers in the ab plane of formula [MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]− (1 and 2) or [MnIICrIII(Cl2An)3]− (3) with the well-known honeycomb structure, which is similar to that reported in other bimetallic anilate-based compounds.12−14 It consists in a hexagonal layer where the Cr(III) and Mn(II) ions occupy alternating vertices of the hexagons and are linked through X2An bridges in such a way that each Mn(II) is surrounded by three neighboring Cr(III) and vice versa (see Figure 1). It contains crystallographically independent Mn and Cr ions with occupancies of 0.16667 and characteristic Mn−O and Cr−O distances (2.208(10) and 1.972(8) Å in 1, 2.171(14) and 1.963(9) Å in 2, and 2.174(4) and 1.964(4) Å in 3). Within the honeycomb layer, the bridged Mn(II) and Cr(III) present the opposite chirality, as expected. Mn(II) and Cr(III) centers are situated on a site of crystallographic 3-fold symmetry, with three Br2An or Cl2An related in a propeller-like arrangement. Due to the centrosymmetric character of the structure, Mn(II) and Cr(III) present the opposite configuration in neighboring layers. These layers are alternated due to the presence of an inversion center between Mn ions from different layers that give rise to two possible dispositions of the neighboring layers (see Figure S1). As recently found by us in the structures of 2D anilate-based compounds obtained with small templating cations such as [FeIII(acac2-trien)]+,14 Me2NH2+ cations of 1, Et2NH2+ cations of 2, and Et3NH+ cations of 3 are inserted into the hexagons of the 2D anilate-based network and not between the layers as in most of the previous oxalate or anilate-based 2D compounds (see Figure 2). Thus, in 3 the center of the hexagons is occupied by the N of a crystallographically independent Et3NH+ cation (N1) with an occupancy of 0.16667 as it is placed in a 3-fold axis (see Figure 1). On the other hand, N1 and the methylene C atom (C4) of (Et3NH)+ cation are placed in the same 2-fold axis perpendicular to the 3-fold axis mentioned before. Consequently, the methyl C atom (C5) of (Et3NH)+ cation presents a disorder between two different

Et2NH2+ cations of 1 and 2 with respect to Et3NH+ ones of 3, gives rise to a higher degree of disorder. To solve it, Me2NH2+ cations of 1 have been modeled with three atoms with occupancies of 0.16667 (N, C4, and C5) with two of them, N and C4, occupying the same position. On the other hand, Et2NH2+ cations of 2 have been modeled with four atoms with occupancies of 0.16667 (N, C100 and C101) and 0.33333 (C102) with two of them, N and C100, occupying the same position. The disordered Me2NH2+ of 1 and Et2NH2+ of 2 are generated from these atoms by a 3-fold axis in the middle of the hexagons perpendicular to the anilate-based layers and three 2fold axis perpendicular to it.

The minimum distances between metals of neighboring layers are 4.67 Å for 1, 4.74 Å for 2 and 4.59 Å for 3, much shorter than those of compounds with [FeIII(acac2-trien)]+ (7.39 Å). This is a consequence of the smaller size of Me2NH2+, Et2NH2+, and Et3NH+ cations, which permits a larger degree of interpenetration between neighboring layers, and the alternated disposition of these layers. The higher interlayer distances of 1 and 2 compared with that of 3 are due to the presence of Br instead of Cl. As expected, these distances are much shorter than those reported in the bimetallic 2D anilate-based compounds with the templating cations NBu4+ (9.69 Å), [(H3O)(phz)3]+ (9.03−9.21 Å) or [FeIII(sal2-trien)]+ and derivatives (11.06−11.92 Å) between the layers.12−14 E

Inorganic Chemistry The structure of 1 resembles those of (Me2NH2)2[FeIII2(L1)3]·2H2O·6DMF,16 (Me2NH2)3[Al4(L2)3(L1•)3]·3DMF and (Me2NH2)3[Al4(L1)3(L1•)3]·9DMF24 (L1 and L1•, oxidized and reduced forms of Cl2An and L2 and L2•, oxidized and reduced forms of 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone). Indeed, a and b parameters of these compounds are very close to those of 1, 2, and 3 indicating that the 2D layers have a very similar structure. However, neighboring anilate layers in these compounds are eclipsed defining channels as in other homometallic and heterometallic 2D anilate-based compounds.12,25 Furthermore, the higher number of Me2NH2+ cations, needed to compensate the higher charge of the anilate-based layers in these compounds, occupy the interlamellar space and not the center of the hexagons as those of 1, 2, and 3. This leads to longer interlayer distances 8.7449(5) Å for (Me2NH2)2[FeIII2(L1)3]·2H2O·6DMF,16 8.7701(2) Å for (Me2NH2)3[Al4(L2)3(L1•)3]·3DMF and 8.7473(5) Å for (Me2NH2)3[Al4(L1)3(L1•)3]·9DMF.24 Similar structures have been obtained very recently with the homometallic compounds (Et4N)2[M2(Cl2An)3] (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) and (Et4N)2[Zn2(F2An)3] with Et4N+ cations occupying the space between the [Zn2(F2An)3]2− layers.26 The presence of the alkylammonium cations in the center of the hexagons together with the eclipsed disposition of the layers gives rise to the isolation of the cations in the structures. Thus, N···N, N···O, and N···X (X = Cl, Br) distances in the three compounds are longer than 3.4 Å leading to the absence of clear hydrogen bonding. PXRD patterns of crystals of 1 and 2 at 300 K are shown in Figure S2. They confirm the structures obtained from single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments, although that of 1 presents some differences with the simulated one from the single crystal X-ray diffraction structure obtained at 120 K, which could be related to the solvate water molecules. PXRD pattern of a sample of 1 obtained by mixing quickly the two precursor solutions fits very well to the simulated one (Figure S2). In the case of 3, it was not possible to obtain enough crystalline sample for magnetic and proton conduction measurements (see below). As a result, these measurements were performed in a powder sample obtained in the same way as described for 1. PXRD pattern of this sample confirms the structure obtained from single crystal X-ray diffraction (see Figure S2). Structure of [(Et)(i-Pr)2NH][MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·(CHCl3)0.5· (H2O) (4). This compound crystallizes in the trigonal space group P-3c1. The structure of 4 is formed by anionic 2D anilate-based layers in the ab plane of formula [MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]−, which are very similar to those of 1 and 2 (Figure 3). However, the increase of size of the templating cation ([(Et)(i-Pr)2NH]+) with respect to those used in the previous compounds gives rise to important structural changes. Thus, a lateral view of the structure shows the presence of bilayers formed by two [MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]− layers with a high degree of interpenetration, which is similar to that of 1, 2, and 3 (Figure 4). These bilayers are separated by a layer of disordered [(Et)(i-Pr)2NH]+ cations and solvent molecules (disordered CHCl3 and H2O molecules). Consequently, there are two types of interlayer distances; intrabilayer ones (∼4.42 Å), which are similar to those of 1, 2, and 3, and interbilayer ones (∼8.76 Å), which are similar to those of (Me2NH2)2[FeIII2L3]·2H2O·6DMF.16 Another important difference is that only half of the hexagons of the

[MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]− layers are occupied by [(Et)(i-Pr)2NH]+ cations. The remaining cations, needed to compensate the charge, are placed between the bilayers. The presence of CHCl3 molecules is confirmed by microanalysis, which shows a Mn:Cr:Cl ratio close to 1:1:0.3. The Cl content calculated by microanalysis is lower than that predicted from the structure (Mn:Cr:Cl ratio of 1:1:1.5) due to desolvation after extracting the crystals from the mother liquor. The [MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]− layers contain crystallographically independent Mn and Cr ions with occupancies of 0.33333 and characteristic Mn−O and Cr−O distances (2.156(17)− 2.182(16) and 1.983(14)−1.986(13) Å, respectively). As in 1, 2, and 3, Mn(II) and Cr(III) centers are situated on a site of crystallographic 3-fold symmetry, with three Br2An related in a propeller-like arrangement. Within the honeycomb layer, the bridged Mn(II) and Cr(III) present the opposite chirality, as expected (Figure 3). Due to the centrosymmetric character of the structure, Mn(II) and Cr(III) present the opposite configuration in neighboring layers belonging to the same bilayer. These two layers are alternated due to the presence of an inversion center between two Mn ions (see Figure S3). The neighboring [MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]− layers from different bilayers present halogen−halogen interactions27 involving half of Br atoms from Br2An ligands (Br2) with minimum Br···Br interlayer distances of ca. 3.25 Å (see Figure S4). These interactions are not present between neighboring layers belonging to the same bilayer and in 1, 2, and 3. As mentioned above, there are two crystallographically independent [(Et)(i-Pr)2NH]+ cations. [(Et)(i-Pr)2NH]+ cations with N2 are inserted into the hexagons of the 2D anilate-based network as in 1 (see Figure 3), while those with N1 are placed in the interlayer space (see Figure S5). N1 and N2 present occupancies of 0.16667. N2 is placed in the same 3fold axis as Cr ions. Disordered solvent molecules (CHCl3 and H2O) are placed in these interlayer space and give rise to F

problems in the structural resolution (see Experimental Section). PXRD patterns of freshly filtered crystals of 4 at 300 K shows some differences with respect to the one calculated from the single crystal X-ray diffraction data, which indicate a very fast loss of solvent molecules (Figure S6). However, the main peaks from the simulated pattern are still observed coexisting with those of a second phase. This pattern changes drastically if it is measured after several days with a clear loss of crystallinity (Figure S6). Interestingly, the change is not irreversible and the original PXRD pattern is partially recovered after soaking the crystals several days in a CHCl3/CH3OH mixture and measuring them with a kapton tape to avoid the loss of solvent molecules. This indicates that the disordered solvent molecules of the interlayer space can be lost and recovered in a reversible way. A similar “breathing” behavior has been observed in the 2D homometallic anilate-based compound (Me2NH2)2[Fe2L3]· 2H2O·6DMF mentioned above and other MOFs.16 Finally, the crystallinity of the dry crystals of 4 could be improved by heating at 80 °C probably thanks to complete desolvation (see Figure S6). On the other hand, PXRD patterns of the precipitate obtained by mixing quickly MnCl2 and [(Et)(iPr)2NH]3[CrIII(Br2An)3] precursors in methanol is very close to that of the desolvated crystals (see Figure S6). This indicates that the slow diffusion in CHCl3/MeOH mixtures of these precursors used in the synthesis of 4 favors the formation of a structure formed by bilayers, which collapses after losing the solvent molecules in a different one and is similar to that obtained by mixing quickly the precursors. Interestingly, the two structures can be interconverted in a reversible way. Magnetic Properties. The product of the molar magnetic susceptibility times the temperature (χMT) of 1, 2, and 3 is shown in Figure 5. It presents at 300 K values of 7.0 cm3 K

When the temperature is lowered, χMT of the three compounds shows a continuous decrease reaching minima of 2.6 cm3 K mol−1 at 19 K for 1, 3.6 cm3 K mol−1 at 16 K for 2, and 3.1 cm3 K mol−1 at 16 K for 3 followed by a sharp increase at lower temperatures with maxima at ca. 5.6 K for 1, 6.4 K for 2, and 6.3 K for 3. The decrease of χMT with the temperature may be attributed to antiferromagnetic Mn−Cr interactions mediated through the X2An2− bridges, as observed in other compounds containing similar [MnIICrIII(X2An)3]− layers.12−14 Since the ground spin states of Cr(III) and Mn(II) are different (3/2 and 5/2, respectively), this interaction leads to an antiferromagnetic coupling that results in a χmT minimum, followed by an increase of χmT below ca. 20 K, and finally by a ferrimagnetic G

Inorganic Chemistry long-range ordering at low temperatures for the three compounds. The confirmation of the long-range order and a more accurate determination of the ordering temperatures are obtained from the susceptibility measurements performed with an alternating magnetic field (AC susceptibility). These measurements show a frequency-independent peak in the in phase molar susceptibility (χ′M) and out of phase molar susceptibility (χ″M) for 1 and 3 (Figure 6). In 2 a secondary

The ferrimagnetic nature of the long-range ordering is confirmed by the isothermal magnetization measurements at 2 K that show a sharp increase of the magnetization at low fields that becomes more gradual at higher fields (Figure 7). At low

fields (H < 0.3 T), the magnetization of the three compounds increases with a high slope reaching values of 0.9 μB (1), 1.1 μB (2) and 1.1 μB (3) at H = 0.3 T (insets in Figure 7). At higher fields, the magnetization of 1, 2 and 3 tends to saturation (2.5 μB (1), 2.1 μB (2), and 2.2 μB (3) at 5 T). These values are close to that expected for a ferrimagnetic MnIICrIII network (Ms = 5 μB − 3 μB = 2 μB). These isothermal magnetization measurements also indicate that these compounds are soft ferrimagnets since they present hysteresis below the ordering temperatures with coercive fields of ca. 90 mT for 1, 100 mT for 2 and 150 mT for 3 (insets in Figure 7). Due to the loss of crystallinity of 4 after extracting the crystals from the mother liquor (see above), the magnetic properties of this compound were measured in contact with the solvent (CHCl3/MeOH mixture). The thermal dependence of χMT of solvated crystals of 4 is shown in Figure 8. It presents at 300 K a value of 6.5 cm3 K mol−1, as expected for noninteracting Mn(II) and Cr(III). When the temperature is

peak appears at higher temperatures, which could be related to the presence of some impurity of a solvated phase as suggested by elemental analysis (see above). The Tc, determined as the temperature at which χ″M becomes nonzero, is 7.9 K for 1, 8.9 K for 2 and 8.0 K for 3. These Tc values are close to those found for [MnIICrIII(Cl2An)3]− or [MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]− salts of [FeIII(acac2-trien)]+ and [FeIII(sal2-trien)]+.13,14 H

whereas no out-of-phase signal is observed. All the above magnetic properties are consistent with a field-induced transition from an antiferromagnet to a canted spin structure showing spontaneous magnetization. The origin of this behavior may be related to the presence of two very different interlayer distances. This novel feature is not observed in compounds containing analogous anilate-based networks, which shows interlayer distances close to the intrabilayer ones of 4 (∼4.42 Å as in 1, 2, and 3), or close to the interbilayer ones (∼8.76 Å) ([Fe III (acac 2 -trien)][MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·(CH3CN)2 (7.53 Å), [GaIII(acac2-trien)][MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·(CH3CN)2 (7.57 Å)).14 The Br···Br interbilayer interactions mentioned above, which are not observed between the anilate-based layers of 1, 2, or 3, could be responsible of the weak antiferromagnetic interaction among the ferrimagnetic layers. On the other hand, intrabilayer interactions seems to be ferromagnetic as in 1, 2, or 3. The synthesis of analogous compounds with I2An ligands is in progress to confirm this. When crystals of 4 were extracted from the mother liquor, the magnetic properties change completely and become close to those of 1, 2, and 3. Thus, χMT of filtered crystals of 4 shows a continuous decrease from 6.9 cm3 K mol−1 at 300 K to a minimum of 3.0 cm3 K mol−1 at 18 K followed by a sharp increase at lower temperatures with maxima at ca. 6.9 K and a very high χMT value suggesting a ferrimagnetic long-range ordering as that observed in 1, 2, and 3 (see Figure S8). Thermal dependence of χM of the dry crystals of 4 under an applied magnetic field of 0.1 T confirms this behavior as it shows a sharp increase of χM at decreasing temperatures with much higher values than those of the solvated sample (Figure 10). This is further confirmed by AC susceptibility measure-

Temperature dependence of the product of the molar magnetic susceptibility times the temperature (χMT) of crystals of 4 in contact with the mother liquor under an applied dc field of 1000 Oe. The inset shows the temperature dependence of χM under an applied dc field of 100 Oe (empty squares), 1000 Oe (full circles), and 10 000 Oe (empty circles).

lowered, χMT shows a continuous decrease to a minimum of 2.7 cm3 K mol−1 at 15.8 K close to that of 1, 2, and 3. The major differences of χMT of 4 with respect to the other compounds were observed at lower temperatures. Thus, χMT value increases to a maximum of 5.6 cm3 K mol−1 at 8.9 K, and then decreases to 1.0 cm3 K mol−1 at 2 K. This result indicates that, in contrast to 1, 2, and 3, compound 4 does not present a ferrimagnetic long-range ordering. The inset of Figure 8 shows the thermal dependence of χM measured under different external dc fields in the temperature range of 2−20 K. A sharp peak is observed at ca. 9 K at 100 and 1000 Oe, which disappears when the external field is 10000 Oe. This could indicate the presence of weak antiferrimagnetic interactions between the ferrimagnetic layers that can be overcome by a high field. These features are characteristic of a metamagnetic behavior, which is confirmed by the sigmoidal shape of the isothermal magnetization at 2 K (Figure 9). The magnetization

ments, which show a frequency-independent peak in χ′M and χ″M with a Tc of 9.0 K (see Figure S9), and the isothermal magnetization at 2 K. Thus, M of dried crystals of 4 shows a sharp increase at low fields that becomes more gradual at higher fields reaching 2.0 μB at 5 T (see Figure S10). It presents a hysteresis loop with a coercive field of ca. 4 mT (inset in Figure S10). The shape of the hysteresis loop of the dried crystals of 4 is different to that of 1, 2, and 3 and other compounds with similar anilate-based networks. Thus, it presents a much more abrupt increase of M at low magnetic fields and the presence of steps. A possible explanation of the absence of metamagnetism

curve shows a gradual and linear increase at low fields reaching 0.3 μB at H = 0.4 T. This increase becomes very sharp from 0.4 to 1 T (M = 1.6 μB at H = 1 T) and increases more gradually at higher magnetic fields without reaching saturation (M = 2.8 μB at H = 5 T, see Figure 7). The critical field is approximately Hc = 4900 Oe for this metamagnetic transition determined by the maximum in the dM/dH vs H curve. Small hystereses are observed below and above the Hc with a coercive field of 80 mT (see inset of Figure 9). The ac susceptibility measurements (Figure S7) show a frequency-independent peak in χ′ at 9.6 K, I

Inorganic Chemistry in the desolvated crystals is the collapse of the structure after extracting the crystals from the mother liquor suggested by powder X-ray diffraction data (see above and Figure S6), which could lead to different interlayer magnetic interactions in the absence of Br···Br interlayer interactions. Interestingly, this behavior is reversible in agreement with X-ray powder diffraction data that suggest that the original structure is recovered after reimmersing the crystals in a CHCl3/MeOH mixture. AC susceptibility measurements of the same crystals reimmersed in a CHCl3/MeOH mixture overnight and measured in contact with this solvent mixture (resolvated sample) do not show the peak in χ″M observed in the dry sample (Figure S11). On the other hand, the maximum in χ′M at 9 K, of the solvated sample is observed in the resolvated sample with similar values. Therefore, the metamagnetic behavior of a solvated sample of 4 is recovered. We thus observe a reversible switching of the magnetic properties, which resembles that observed in the 2D homometallic anilate-based compound (Me2NH2)2[Fe2(L1)3]·2H2O·6DMF mentioned above16 that shows a reversible decrease of the magnetic ordering temperature after desolvation from 80 to 26 K. Still, this solvent-induced magnetic switching has a different origin to that of 4. This is attributed to the distortion of the framework and/or the creation of defects upon desolvation, as the absence of an inflection point in M vs H curves suggests that the interlayer interaction is negligible or ferromagnetic.16 In fact, halogen−halogen interactions are not observed in this homometallic compound. Thermal Analysis and Proton Conductivity. Compounds 2, 3, and 4 show similar thermal behavior with a small weight loss between room temperature and 50 °C, which is due, likely, to the removal of an amount of physisorbed water/solvent by the solids. After this temperature, compounds remain thermally stable up to ∼240−260 °C, temperature at which decomposition of the solids take place (data not shown). In 1, a higher weight loss was observed below 140 °C (3.5%), which is consistent with the presence of two water molecules in the polycrystalline sample (Figure S12). After proton conductivity measurements, pelletized samples were analyzed by TGA and PXRD, in order to notice possible structural and/ or water content changes. None of the solids displayed significant weight gain or changes in their PXRD patterns (Figure S13), underlining the stability of the samples in the full range of temperature (25 to 70 °C) and relative humidity (95% RH) analyzed. Impedance spectra registered under these conditions are shown in Figure S14. The total pellet resistance, RT, was obtained from the intercept of the spike and/or the arc (low- frequency end) on the Z′ axis. The highest proton conductivity values, at 70 °C and 95% RH, are obtained for compounds 1 (2.4 × 10−5 S·cm−1) and 4 (1 × 10−5 S·cm−1) and the lowest for 2 and 3, with proton conductivities close to 2 × 10−6 S·cm−1. The weak H-bond network formed between the protonated nitrogen atoms of the intercalated alkylammonium cations with the oxygen and halogen atoms of the anilate groups, with interaction distances N···O and N···X (X = Cl, Br) longer than 3.4 Å, makes difficult the proton transfers and leads to low proton conductivity values. The low activation energy values, range between 0.26 eV (for 1, 2 and 4) and 0.15 eV (3) obtained from the Arrhenius plot, Figure 11, are consistent with a Grotthuss H+ transfer mechanism,28 although a vehicle mechanism contribution cannot be discarded.29 These results confirm the existence of proton conductivity without reaching the best results for oxalate-based systems (σ ∼ 10−3 S.cm−1).10

On the other hand, these values are similar to those found on coordination polymers based on similar ligands with a 1D structure in compounds MII(dhbq)·nH2O (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, and Zn), which have shown σ values of 10−4 S.cm−1 when noncoordinating crystalline water is absorbed into the voids of the 1D array with humidity.30



CONCLUSIONS Four novel magnetic compounds formed by Me2NH2+, Et2NH2+, Et3NH+, and [(Et)(i-Pr)2NH]+ and anionic bimetallic coordination polymers based on the anilate ligand have been prepared and characterized. They contain 2D anilate-based networks with a honeycomb structure. The compounds containing the smaller templating cations Me2NH2+, Et2NH2+, and Et3NH+ (1, 2, and 3) present structures, in which the cations are placed into the hexagonal channels of the 2D network as observed previously with [FeIII(acac2-trien)]+. Interestingly, a relatively small increase in the size of the templating cation ([(Et)(i-Pr)2NH]+), gives rise in 4 to a different structure with half of the cations placed within the layers and the other half between them leading to bilayers separated by a layer of disordered solvent molecules and countercations. These structural differences lead to abrupt changes in the magnetism of these lattices. Compounds 1, 2, and 3 present a ferrimagnetic ordering with a Tc similar to that of other 2D anilate-based compounds with the same metals, while in 4, the presence of weak magnetic interactions between the ferrimagnetic layers, which could be mediated by halogen− halogen interactions, gives rise to a metamagnetic behavior when the sample is measured in contact with the mother liquor. The behavior changes in the desolvated sample, which shows a ferrimagnetic ordering as that of 1, 2, and 3 due to collapse of the structure. Interestingly, the metamagnetic behavior is recovered after reimmersing the crystals in the mother liquor proving the reversibility of the process, which is confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. Proton conductivity measurements for the four compounds show values comparable to those of bimetallic oxalate-based compounds containing acidic cations without reaching the best values of these systems. One reason for the lower conductivity could be the alternated configuration of the anilate layers, which prevents close contacts between the alkylammonium J

Inorganic Chemistry cations. These results indicate that anilate-based compounds are promising candidates for the preparation of multifunctional compounds with coexistence of magnetic ordering and proton conduction. The interplay between both properties could be reached in compounds with higher magnetic ordering temperature and proton conduction. Possible strategies to improve the proton conduction are the enhancement of the interlayer and intralayer transport trough the proton carriers. This could be achieved with an eclipsed disposition of the layers to favor the interlayer transport and increasing the number of proton carriers to favor the intralayer transport. Homometallic anilatebased compounds reported in the literature such as ((Me2NH2)2[Fe2(L1)3]·2H2O·6DMF containing partially reduced anilate ligands fulfill these two requisites together with porosity and electric conductivity.16 However, the proton conduction of these compounds could be limited due to stability problems as they are prepared and studied in an inert atmosphere. Possible advantages of the heterometallic compounds prepared in this work are the neutral character of the anilatebased layers due to the presence of the countercations into the hexagonal channels of the 2D network of the structure. This opens interesting perspectives for the exfoliation of single magnetic layers of these compounds as it has been done with [FeIII(acac2-trien)]+ anilate-based compounds. On the other hand, the reversible solvent-induced change of the structure and magnetic properties of 4 could be extended to other solvents or neutral molecules for sensing or for the preparation of multifunctional compounds. To reach this goal, we are currently exploring the intercalation chemistry of this compound and related ones.
